Why teams connect Manhattan Associates WMS and Paylocity

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Manhattan Associates WMS and Paylocity share in real time, so the people Paylocity manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Paylocity is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Manhattan Associates WMS runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Locations & Zones, Returns, Appointments, Distribution Orders in Manhattan Associates WMS with Company Codes, Custom Fields, Employees, Onboarding in Paylocity field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Manhattan Associates WMS keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream ship confirmations and tracking to the ERP and CRM so customer service answers from live data.
  • 02 Mirror inventory positions across the distribution network into a central warehouse for network-level visibility.
  • 03 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.
  • 04 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.
